La vacuna esencialmente toma un fragmento de ARN mensajero de la c\u00e9lula viral y hace que nuestros cuerpos produzcan la prote\u00edna que desencadena la respuesta inmunitaria y los anticuerpos para prevenir la infecci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Una vacuna de ARNm no contiene el virus en s\u00ed. Una analog\u00eda ser\u00eda pensar en ella como un correo electr\u00f3nico enviado a las c\u00e9lulas musculares en el sitio de la inyecci\u00f3n que muestra c\u00f3mo es un fragmento de prote\u00edna viral y luego, como un mensaje de Snapchat, desaparece. Nuestros cuerpos desarrollar\u00e1n una respuesta inmune para eliminar la prote\u00edna viral y recordar\u00e1n c\u00f3mo reconocerla en el futuro.
